I'm refurbing the engine bay and I'm wondering how do you remove the engine grille screen portions on either side of the main grille? I want to remove them and repaint black. Looks like there are 3 studs that hold them in place?

They push up along the back edge, then pull the whole thing back to pull away the pins at the front,

So the grommets slide off similiar to the ones that hold the name badges on? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I don't want to break these. Thanks

the retainers have little metal discs, with teeth that grasp the posts, imbedded in them. trying to spin and lever them off just cuts into the post. here's the fast and easy way to be rid of them. crush the retainer with a pair of pliers. it will flatten. then do it again 90* in another direction. this breaks the disc and the retainer will just about fall off. this removal method really works well for not distroying the plastic posts for the grill lettering. new retainers are available from the usual suspects. if your welting is tattered, i think craig/camp914 has new material.
